L’OLLERIA
San Juan Bautista Hospital In 1880 came to the village of l’Olleria the money needed for the charitable construction of the hospital, moving it to the current site, since the old Royal Hospital was located in the Plaza de la Vila. From its inception until 2006 he was assisted by a community of Capuchin Tertiary nuns. On an architectural level the hospital preserves the neo-Gothic chapel and cloisters.
